The two then proceeded to tie the knot and even had a baby together after their marriage was finalized.Those who know the two say they are “very happy.” Guess you can’t knock true love.

The two married in 2009 with Moore telling Marie Claire that her husband is “a good egg. I’m in awe of him: his brain, his passion. He’s truly one of a kind.”The two have not really been doing much lately professionally, but that must mean that they’re too busy being in love.
